Just yesterday I purchased a domain name for affiliate purpose. <snip> While looking up possible domain names, I found out that somewebsites <snip> consist of all links, but not actual pages. I've stumbled websites like this all the time, but do not really know what's behind this.
How can I make something like this one, before I make a legitimate website?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pages that display only links are usually domain parking pages, although I've seen some affiliate pages that are little more than banner ad links.
There are a variety of domain parking programs. You have to read the TOS of each to learn if your domains qualify.
You might do better to make a minisite that would comply with the TOS of AdSense.
If you already signed up then you have to change the nameservers of your domain name to point to your web host so that you can develop your site or put your own affiliate links at that page.
Your hosting company will provide you with 2 nameservers e.g. something like this :
ns1.yourhostingcompany.com
ns2.yourhostingconpany.com
You go to your registrar control panel and change the parking nameservers to the nameservers provided by your hosting company like the example above.
Mistra: thanks for your helpful suggestion. I just registered the domain name but didn't decide the hosting company yet. Problem is that i would like to join credit cards referral programs, but they don't allow me to join, before I have actual decent websites. Well, it seems like I need to read a lot here to get a sense where to begin. Thanks.
